Aleppo airport out of service after Israeli air attack: State media

Al Jazeera  

An Israeli air attack has struck Aleppo’s international airport, resulting in a runway damage and operational shutdown, Syrian state media SANA reported, citing a military source. An Israeli army spokesperson on Monday told the AFP news agency: “We do not comment on reports in the foreign media.” During more than 12 years of civil war in Syria, Israel has launched hundreds of air attacks on its territory, primarily targeting Iran-backed forces and Lebanese Hezbollah fighters as well as Syrian army positions. In early May, Israeli attacks on the Aleppo area killed four Syrian officers and three Iran-backed fighters and forced a halt to flights, according to the war monitor. Three people were killed during a March 7 attack, while another attack two weeks later destroyed a suspected arms depot used by Iran-backed militias at Aleppo airport, the UK-based SOHR reported.
